Short biography of a former worker here:
"Finding out he had brain cancer came almost as a relief to Erik Steffen, for only then did he know what was causing his terrible headaches.
Mr. Steffen, 35, Indianapolis, had been having increasingly intense headaches leading up to Christmas Day 2004, when he went to the emergency room. An examination revealed his condition.
The diagnosis didn't change his outlook on life, Kelly Steffen said of her husband, who died Saturday. "His goal in life was to love God more and people more. That was the most important thing for him."
"In earlier stints with Campus Crusade, Mr. Steffen spent time in places such as Turkey and Kosovo. In recent years, he had worked from the organization's Indianapolis office, offering support to missionary teams.
David Lootens, the organization's regional director of the Great Lakes Region, recalled meeting Mr. Steffen in Turkey in 1993. Mr. Steffen arrived full of energy and learned Turkish quickly."
